Like Having Your Family Backyard Wedding
My husband and I knew we wanted to get married at the Portola Inn before we were even engaged! After our good friends were married there a few years before us, we knew that was the place for us too. We wanted our wedding to feel like a dressed-up, backyard, beer garden, hangout kind of party and we got exactly that. The outdoor spaces at the Portola Inn are not just stunning oaks and dappled sunlight, but Tom and Peggy have made such thoughtful decisions and updates to make the spaces serve unique purposes but that flow together seamlessly. Their property is like the backyard we wished was in our family and working with them to plan it felt like having (very qualified professional) family helping us with all the details. They are such kind people and helped us make the day amazing. I could go on and on, but what I'll say is that if California Oaks and the Central Coast are part of your wedding vision, you couldn't ask for a better venue and planning team than Tom and Peggy at the Portola Inn.

Amazing venue
I cannot say enough great things about Portola Inn, from the beginning to the end and everything in between. Tom and Michael did a fantastic job with everything possible and really went above and beyond. The property itself is just absolutely beautiful in every way possible, pictures truly do not do it justice. We are extremely happy with the entire process from the planning to the day of, even when hurdles came up, Tom and Michael handled them with ease and made the entire process that much easier.

Best venue in the Central Coast
Our wedding was amazing, I still cry thinking about it. Tom and Peggy worked with us to help make our day perfect. I can't thank them enough. Everything went so smoothly I was able to relax and enjoy the wedding (and eat!). I can't thank them enough.Our wedding was amazing, I still cry thinking about it.

A Perfect Day
I had my wedding rehearsal, rehearsal dinner, ceremony, and reception all at the Portola Inn. The venue looked amazing and got many positive comments from our friends and family about what a nice place this was. The staff was very attentive to detail, communicated well throughout the planning process, and was very supportive on the wedding weekend as our coordinators, too. I highly recommend using the Portola Inn and their staff for your future event.I had my wedding rehearsal, rehearsal dinner, ceremony, and reception all at the Portola Inn.

Amazing venue with beautiful views and wonderful owners
Lisa and Tom were so caring and flexible with us for our special day. They made the utmost effort to make the day perfect for us. There were multiple times I called Lisa about changes in the plan and their care and attention to detail made the day so wonderful. I can’t thank Tom and Lisa enough for everything they did for us.
I would recommend this venue to anyone. It has beautiful views, a calming environment, and great prices for a venue in the Central Coast.Lisa and Tom were so caring and flexible with us for our special day.

This is the place!
The Omalley’s are extremely knowledgeable, kind, and will help make your day flow perfectly! Both my now husband (eek!) and I had no clue what we were doing. No help from family or otherwise. The owners at Portola inn helped us with every aspect of planning and took a tremendous amount of stress off. We also were able to house the brides 98 year old grandfather for the duration of the week who required ADA access. Both of our families and friends have raved about the event and how amazing it was! Simply flawless! And the photos- the beautiful oak trees and surrounding greens made this stunning venue perfect! We needed very little decorations! It’s an incredibly naturally beautiful. Just book it! You will not regret it for a moment!The Omalley’s are extremely knowledgeable, kind, and will help make your day flow perfectly!

The BEST wedding venue!
My husband and I got married at Portola Inn in June and it was hands-down the best decision we made. Portola Inn is a beautiful venue but above all, the staff is off-the-charts INCREDIBLE. They made us feel so prepared and excited for our wedding day. They offer coordination the day-of but that doesn’t full encompass all that they do for you…they truly go above and beyond for their couples. Peggy, Tom, and Jana are so genuine and they really care about your experience. If you’re thinking about having your wedding at Portola Inn, DO IT! You will not regret it. We are definitely coming back for our anniversaries and hopefully a vow renewal someday!! What an incredible place with the MOST incredible people. I cannot say enough good things about my experience…and don’t just take it from me- Every single one of my guests LOVED their time at Portola Inn and have been asking non-stop how I found this gem of a venue.

Gorgeous venue for simple brunch wedding
Robert and I had an intimate and simple brunch wedding. We invited those closest to us and Tom and Peggy took care of the rest. We had about three sit-downs before our event and went over the details so we did not miss a thing. I was not prepared as Peggy mentioned several things at every meeting that I failed to think about! It was so nice knowing that someone was there who had done this before and had items at her venue just in case I forgot something. I really took the worrying out of all of it for me. I truly got to enjoy my day. By the time the day had arrived, we were calm and excited. Peggy and Tom were there for every need and we felt as if we were getting married at our family's house. It was such an intimate time for us. The venue was gorgeous and the most beautiful one we looked at. We are so blessed to have had the O'Malley's as part of our wedding and friends for life. Thank you, Peggy and Tom, for making our day an unforgettable one.Robert and I had an intimate and simple brunch wedding. We invited those closest to us and Tom and Peggy took care of the rest.

A perfect day!
We booked with Portola Inn in April of 2019 for our October 17th, 2020 wedding. Of course as most of us getting married in 2020 experienced our plans changed from a 80-100 person wedding down to just 20, including us, and Peggy and Tom could not have done a more perfect job adapting to the changes, following all of the guidelines, and making our day more beautiful than we ever could have imagined. Peggy is an amazing coordinator, and made sure things I never even thought of got done. They made sure to set up everything in a socially distant way that didn’t feel cold or sterile, but instead warm and intimate. We honestly can’t imagine our day being any different now; it was perfect!We booked with Portola Inn in April of 2019 for our October 17th, 2020 wedding.

Mother of the Bride’s review
From the moment I met Peggy I knew we were in the right place. Not only was the venue just gorgeous, but it was obvious in speaking with Peggy that she had the experience that we sorely lacked. She made wedding planning easy. She was organized, responsive to our ideas and questions and full of great suggestions for local caterers, DJs, and photographers. All her recommendations were spot on and our 2020 Wedding during a pandemic, came off without a hitch! We were able to have a heartfelt, lovely, social distanced but intimate wedding under the oak trees that no one will soon forget, thanks to Peggy’s expertise and guidance. We would highly recommend The Portola Inn for your next special event. In fact the plan is to have a wonderful 1st Anniversary Party there next year!From the moment I met Peggy I knew we were in the right place.

Denise, Thank you for your special review. This wedding was so full of heart warming words and details. I will never forget your touching toast to your daughter. AJ and Noelle truly got the wedding of their dreams - even if the guest count was smaller than first anticipated. We look forward to celebrating their first anniversary with some of those that were missing.

Most gorgeous venue on central coast!
I recently got married on 10/10/20 and I decided to change my wedding from 100 guests to 8 guests since both my father and father in law are at higher risk for COVID. Peggy and Tom were so sweet and understanding and were able to adjust my wedding package. I am SOOO happy I chose to get married at the Portola inn. The grounds are absolutely GORGEOUS and your wedding photos will look so amazing! Not only will you have a beautiful venue but Peggy also acts as an event planner which was so helpful! She was always very prompt in getting back to me with any questions or concerns I had and even referred me to amazing local vendors. On the day of the wedding Peggy was running around making sure everything was set up and helping with last minute details. Tom helped make sure that my arch was secure since it was such a windy day. He even helped my dad with his tie! Both Peggy and Tom went above and beyond and I can’t thank them enough. I felt very safe having my wedding during a pandemic at the Portola Inn. Peggy and Tom were respectful and made sure to have their masks on at all times. Do yourselves a favor and book your wedding at the Portola inn. You won’t regret it!I recently got married on 10/10/20 and I decided to change my wedding from 100 guests to 8 guests since both my father and father in law are at higher risk for COVID.

Michelle,
Thank you so much for trusting such a special day with us during a Pandemic! You did such a great job of working within the current situation, instead of fighting it, which made your day intimate, relaxed and memorable. Thank you for including pictures, Melissa Brannon is amazing and captured the beauty so well.
Our best to you and Lance,

Lovely venue
Peggy just made my wedding planning so much easier. She and Tom were accommodating and offered lots of ideas and suggestions for my event. After touring the place, I instantly fell in love with the overall look of the venue - big oak trees, beautiful gardens and a place to dance!Peggy just made my wedding planning so much easier.

Hi Iva,
We are so happy you booked with us! I think we are the perfect place for your reception since we are so close to the church where you are getting married. We are looking forward to a beautiful day in May!

Wonderful experience
Tom, Peggy, and Jana gave us such a great experience. We had a wonderful wedding day. We thought it would be hot, but being on a hill with the shade of the trees, it was perfect. Many of our guests asked us how we found this venue because they were so charmed by it. I'm so glad we found the Portola Inn!Tom, Peggy, and Jana gave us such a great experience.

Jared and Rebecca,
We are so pleased to hear that you had such a positive experience at Portola Inn. Our oak covered hilltop and coastal breeze are so welcome when the weather is warm. Your long wait through the pandemic was worth it all!
Best to you both,
Peggy and Tom -

What would I do without you?
We were less than 2 weeks away from our wedding when the world shut down. Peggy & Tom held our hand every step of the way up until that point and they were the first ones to make us feel better when EVERYTHING changed. There is no team better to take care of a couple going through all of this and anyone would be lucky to have them on their side in 2020, and beyond.We were less than 2 weeks away from our wedding when the world shut down.

We have been honored to work with you through the process and know the day will be more beautiful and meaningful because of the wait.
